FUNDING NOW AVAILABLE TO SUPPORT SMALL COMMUNITY PROJECTS IN MOORE
The Morrison Government is providing a further $150,000 in funding for small-scale upgrades and new equipment that community groups in Moore need and deserve.
Expressions of interest are now open for Round 7 of the Stronger Communities Programme, giving local governing bodies and community groups an opportunity to nominate projects for grants of up to $20,000.
Federal Member for Moore Ian Goodenough said more funding would deliver the infrastructure and equipment our communities need to be successful and grow.
“Our Government continues to deliver for Moore,” Mr Goodenough said.
“This latest funding injection will support up to 20 projects across our communities, supporting jobs and delivering an economic boost to drive our recovery on the other side of the COVID-19 pandemic.”
“This type of investment brings people together by strengthening social connections, building community participation, and delivering a brighter and more vibrant future for communities.”
The Stronger Communities Programme has supported many projects within Moore, including Cycling Without Age Sorrento, Mullaloo and Sorrento Surf Life Saving Clubs, and many sporting groups in last year’s Round 6 of the programme.
“I strongly encourage interested organisations to contact my office regarding projects important to them and our community. Grants from $2,500 up to $20,000 are available to cover up to 100 per cent of eligible project costs, or up to 50 per cent of eligible project costs for local governing bodies.”
Through the Stronger Communities Programme, the Government has provided more than $135 million for projects for community-building and job-creating projects across Australia.
